Bent Tree Apartments

Current resident! I ENCOURAGE YOU TO RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE ASAP! see MOLD and MILDEW build up IN OUR HVAC UNIT! DISGUSTING!! I can go on and on and on.... just don't bother with this dump

zero stars! For reference, I paid my rent on time every month and left the apartment better than received and had zero deductions from security deposit. A few things that happened during my tenancy: - Was missing actual windows in the middle of winter for almost two months. I was never reimbursed for heating fees 3X the normal usage. -Literally part of a MAC make up container was glued onto the bathroom faucet as a replacement piece. - Went almost a month without a functioning AC because they "forgot" about my service call - Carpet beetles for months with no action - Had to wait weeks and put in 3 repeated service requests because maintenance thought it was ok to have a mold covered dishwasher.Eventually it was replaced. - Carpenter Bees EVERYWHERE in the spring/summer because the place is literally rotting. - Was invited to a welcome event via email and promptly kicked out once I arrived because it was for invitees only??? - Contractors showed up at my apartment on several occasions without proper notice as due by law. - Never given proper notice as required by law for move out inspection. Employees retaliated against me when I pointed this out. -Charges for trash and other items that were inconsistent and/ or violated lease agreement. The list goes on. Avoid this place at all costs Aimco only cares about how much money they can squeeze out of you for everything.

Previous management company did the parking lot surfaces recently it's just been only 1~2 yrs. I do not understand. This is very inconvenient since there are not many parking space. It's even worse making separate visitor parking spaces also payed premium parking spaces in front of the building. Everything is MONEY!! The new policy is very inconvenient. They should restore the original parking policies. They need to upgrade the inside of the building not outside. It's getting dirty, not clean the stairs at all. I really don't appreciate how they managing this community. It's getting worser and worser I've living here almost 4 yrs. Manage people are not nice whoever working in the office. Even maintain people don't clean after working in my apartment. They even opened window and left. The trashes were sitting there for couple days. I don't recommend this place. I'll move out when my lease ends.

The Property manager Sonia in the leasing office is absolute unprofessional, she never answered any of my calls nor emails, even lived there for three years. They have the worst costumer services, rude all the time, they don't have any respect for residents. Please stay away from this nasty community, parking and cleanliness is the biggest issue of this community plus worst management.

Been here for several years, but leaving and not re-signing new lease. I have to agree with negative posts regarding parking, customer service, and endless fees added to your rent. My building has the worst mice infestation I've *ever* seen. I've reported the issue 4 times over the last 6 weeks, but the problem is no better and management seems disinterested in solving the problem before I move out. The last email reporting the severity of the problem was a detailed email to the leasing office clarifying the magnitude of the ongoing problem...and *NO ONE ACKNOWLEDGED THE EMAIL OR RESPONDED*. 3rd world living conditions, 1st world rent.

A great place to live if you have no friends, no car, don't get any mail and don't mind when everything breaks. If you have no friends, you won't have to be concerned that there is very limited guest parking. If you're thinking it's cool because your friends exclusively travel by Uber/Lyft make sure they also aren't smokers, because the community is going "smoke free" including parking lots, your balcony, etc. The wait time to go grab whatever you had prime shipped to you is at least 45 minutes. If you go to the store to buy stuff like some commoner and God forbid, have an actual question you want answered - just forget it. You'll get a more efficient answer from a Magic 8 Ball. You could try calling or emailing, but I have yet to get responses that way. I'm going to try a carrier pigeon next. I will say the maintenance staff has a couple cool dudes working for them. Of course, I see them the most has something is always broken.

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I am very laid back but I would not recommended this apartment complex to anyone! I moved in a year ago because the rent was low. I quickly found out that there were a number of hidden fees that I was not told about, which made paying my rent difficult. There were little things in the beginning that bugged me. My apartment was blowing cold air when the heat was on. I put in 3 service requests and each time the man who came put my heat up to 98 degrees and said it clearly worked fine. Then, they decided it was time for a new gym and leasing office, which, after 5 months is still not up and running, yet were still paying to have a gym which is not built yet. In April, there was a fie in which a man passed away. I have talked to a number of residents that were in that building and said no alarms went off and people actually drove to the local fire department to tell them what was going on. This was concerning to me so I went back to my apartment and realized my smoke detector was from 2001 and was not working. I also had no sprinklers in my apartment and no pull fire alarms in the hallways of my building. I went to Sonia the manager about this. She told me it wasn't that big of a deal and I was overreacting. She informed me that the building is up to code because they are following the code of the year my building was built which was in the 1980's. I asked to get out of my lease and she told me no because although I lived across the street from the big fire it was not my building, therefore I had to wait it out. I then talked to Aimco who also told me there was nothing they could do. I had Sonia and a representative from Aimco come to show me where my pull fire alarms were. I was informed that I had to go down 3 flights of stairs and to the building next door and pull their alarm. Which to me sounded ridiculous! But, no one seemed concerned, only me. In August there was a fire in my building. The alarm was pulled but because my specific "breezeway" did not have a pull fire alarm I had NO IDEA there was a fie until I went to take my dog out and saw 4 fire trucks outside my building, saw the fire hoses, and heard the alarms. Just a heads up, you need to figure out a way to be safe for yourselves if you are living there. You will get ZERO help from anyone in the management. Luckily, I have moved to a much better and much safer apartment that is NOT owned by Aimco and who actually care about their residents.

Some staff are friendly, maintenance staff don't seem to care, good location. The apartment buildings are a very old, and something breaks on a weekly basis.

Rude staff, bed bugs, AC made in 1986. Old apartments and dirty area full of insect.

Management is argumentative, and lies so you can lease with them. People in the office is rude for the most part. Gym really old, same for several years it hasn't been updated in years. The buildings needs maintenance, paint as well as the stairs, although they recently "replaced them" it hasn't been painted. Bugs every where, trash, spiderwebs in every corner, they clean probably once a year and you have to call them requesting to PLEASE clean the breezeway. Dogpark is better and bigger than children's playground. No parking space even though you have to pay per vehicle monthly, if you are lucky enough to find a spot you will be walking at least two blocks from your building. Management loves dogs so complaining about a loud and noisy dog or pee in he stairs or poop in the side walks is NOT an option. Hide fees so if you decide to move make sure you READ carefully your lease and make sure everything is in writing otherwise you can lose. A lot of maintenance needs to be done in every single unit but new management is prioritizing dogparks, asphalt, sidewalks, lease office and honestly not sure what else because you don't see them and whatever it is you definitely won't take advantage of it. Try to find another place if you can. You will be better and happier if you are not living in Bent Tree specially with new management, new fees and new stuff. But the way pictures online are definitely NOT how Bent Tree really looks. Make sure they show you the apartment and building where you are planning to move before you sign the lease. I was unable to upload the pictures to show but unfortunately it was an option.

Don't move here Don't waste your time and your money here The service is too bad ,they just waste your time You can't go to sleep when your upstair neighbor want to walk or get shower cause of sound Extra charge for nothing Even get charged for parking spot , can't find any spot to park Your car will be towed even you park in your spot

Please be carful and find another place to live. I lived there for 2 years, be careful, the only thing these people are professional at is taking your money, for no reason. they will charge you and charge you for everything and nothing, I mean nothing. I just moved out, and I left the place spotless and spent hours to make sure it was in the same or even better condition than it was in when I first moved in, I even took photos of everything and every room before I left They asked me before I moved out if I want to hire the cleaning crew to clean the place for $125, I turned the offer down since my place has always been extra clean. They still charged me $125 and multiple other fees by the hundreds, they even tried to charge me $5,600 for early termination and only when I showed them all the paperwork and proved to them that I didn't break the lease they baked down from charging $5,600 but still charged me hundreds for other made up services. I asked them for invoices for all the services they performed to the place after I moved out, but the ignored me until I threatened them that I'll take them they sent me fabricated invoices and fake charges, they even went as far as dating the invoices to an earlier date when I was still living there. I moved out on June 5th 2023 and the invoices they claimed they paid those companies to clean the place and paint it were dated for May 9 2023. How do you pay for cleaners to clean the unit while the tenant still lives there, that means they entered my unit without my permission, cleaned the place a month before I moved out and left before I got home that day of the 9th of May These people have no shame, and I will take them to court. Please save yourself the headache I'm going through right now and find another community to live in. Stay away from place if you want to enjoy your renting experience I will be taking them to court soon for falsifying documents and invoices and let the court decide the future of those guys Please note that the review below states that it is a gated community but it isn't gated, go drive there and see, that have no gates at any entry point of this community. Not sure why she would say that if it isn't true. Be careful from this place

Just to know Sonia put my new rent on hold as I previously wrote a negative review. Even they overcharged me, I'm glad I'm out of Bent tree. Be aware of sounds, allergy, parking, and management.

So when we first moved in we had BED BUGS!!!! We had never had them before and when we brought it to attention they did nothing about it. A few months later management changed and things got worse! They never listened to their residents. There fees are outrageous. They have fees for parking, packages, trash ( yes, trash that you have to carry to the dump).Dont waste your time living here. No one was ever helpful here.

Did a tour of the property, liked what I saw, applied right on the spot. Unlike EVERY place I toured, to apply I had to pay a $500 deposit with a $50 application fee. No exaggeration, I was turned down within 2 mins! They instantly took those funds out of my acct. One week later and I still do not have my $500 back. Aimco management company conveniently does not have the info on their website on how to contact them. I just found a post where someone went thru the same thing last year. HOW DO YOU TAKE MONEY INSTANTLY, REJECT THEM AND THEN NOT REFUND THE REFUNDABLE MONEY??? DO NOT APPLY UNLESS YOU HAVE $500 TO THROW AWAY!!!!

This location doesn't deserve even one star. It became impossible to live in this apartment complex. First year was a very good to live here, but the second year is horrible. I decided to write this review because I don't see any resolution about the issue I adressed to Aimco leasing office since summer. The life become horrible after a neighbor moved in with a dog which is constantly barking untill noon every night. I addressed this issue to the leasing office, I don't observe any improvements, it looks that they are ignoring me, they just want to make money, but they don't care about people living in here. A big disaster is with the parking. They made a lot of reserved parking lots to drag more money out of the people living here and if you come after 10 in the night you barely find a space to park. Also they are charging for the mail packages, before this was free. I am very disappointed about this place. I am counting down the days to get out of this community. The worse place I ever lived.

I cannot wait until my lease ends and I can move out of this dump. I would have given this place about a 3.5/5 under the old management. Under the new management though, even 1 star is too much. They changed the visitor parking policy so that you basically cannot have a guest stay more than 3 days a week, and if the visitor parking fills up, then sorry, guess your guest can't stay. There were not issues with parking before. Worst case scenario is you had to walk a little farther to get to your apartment. It's ridiculous. There also has been a big increase in the amount of trash I have seen around the apartment complex since the new management took over. It's not just trash either, but dog waste as well. When I brought this up to management, they basically ignored me. I had to email them at least 3 over the course of a few days before they finally had someone clean the trash up. While on the topic of being ignored, chances are you will have to email management multiple times before they even respond. So yeah, don't move here.

Probably the worst ran apartments I have ever lived in. As touched upon by other commenters, you will be walking from giant or an adjacent neighborhood if you get home a little later. Management will never respond to you about anything. Th floors are uneven, I had a burner not even connected to anything. This place is absolute trash. Please do not move here!!

BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE! My family and I have lived here for many years. The complex was sold to people that don't know what they are doing. They are rude and disrespectful. I have put in my complaints. still Nothing they want you to email your complaints but nothing done in a timely matter. I have been complaining about my outlets for months nothing. there is only four that works in the apartment. (NOTHING) The parking is HORRIFIC if you come home after 6 good luck in finding parking. The only way you have parking near your house is if you paid for it. You can't go out on weekends because if you come back late you have to park at the CVS and walk back. You pay for your trash to be picked up and the trash service that they use leaves trash in the breeze way and it is not picked up. You have to use disinfectant for the equipment in the gym its always dirty and dusty. They have TV's but they don't work the equipment is old the tread mill skips.It's extremely hot the air is never on. No fans,you have to make sure you bring lots of water. I went the other night to the gym and I could not get in they most have changed the system, and didn't notify anyone. The RENT and FEES that they attach is astronomical!!! My friend lives in Woodway apartments and she doesn't have any problems her place is larger and she pays less for rent she said their staff is great. My lease will be up in November, I will be put in my notice OCTOBER 1st. I would rate the complex with new management -0. If I listed everything I would be here all day. BEWARW ITS NOT WORTH THE STRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WOULD GIVE THIS 0 STARS...Here I am again with another issue this company needs to fix. I drove around 20-25 MINUTES looking for a parking spot in my own community THAT I PAY $15 dollars for EVERY MONTH. For a company that charges this much and doesn't have enough parking spaces to accommodate people getting home late is RIDICULOUS. I had to park in Little Rocky Run and walk 10 minutes just to get home.... Instead of building a stupid fcking dog park why don't you build more parking spaces? I saw at least 10 reserved parking spaces that were empty.... instead of up charging residents for premium parking spots why can't this cheap ass company provide more parking?! Im 100% positive Im not the only one with this issue. I can't wait move out and never step foot in this complex again!!!!

I am a resident here, and since Aug when I moved in the construction works didn't finish. Even weekend morning banging and knocking noise.

The past 3 months have been a nightmare. They're renovating all the apartments which is fine but taking way too long for it. The noise starts at 8am Monday through Saturday all day until 7pm. We are exhausted, our animals are scared and changed their behavior and it is just stressful. They came to replace all of our windows and bothered us 3 more times to check if everything was completed- couldn't that have been checked only once? I'm so so happy when our lease is up so we can get the hell out.

I do not recommend this place, it is very dirty, there are many animals.

Have lived in this community 4+ years and I made the mistake to renew my lease for one more year and I just found out that I have to pay $15 a month for every car parking and they argued that they sent me a letter which I never received. The community its smoke free however my neighbors smoke every day and if I turn my AC off the entire apartmen smells awful and the leasing office managers are not doing anything. also $15 a month for trash removal and I have to walk to the dumpster and put the trash away. $5+ monthly fee for the company that generates an Online monthly bill. DO not move to this community unless you want to pay extra money. I also have put up a request 4 months ago because there is a water leak in both bathrooms and the floors and drywall is damage and the maintenance crew never shows up.

BEEN a loyal person of this community since 2015. All I'm going to say is a lot of residents have been upset with the money hungry people running this company. Parking has been absolutely outrageous. They charge extra just to assign you a spot far away from your building. Not only that but their management team is unprofessional as they do not know what they're doing or aren't responsive to any issues throughout the community. If you are a resident who wants to be getting robbed you should probably think about living here unless you're smart, find somewhere else.

Been a Resident for almost 3 years, 1) Black Mold, in living room and Bathroom 2) Never a place to park after 7 pm 3) No one will respond to any requests or issues 4) This month I have had my washer broken twice, same issue, have done 5 maintenance requests have only been dealt with once 5) Was charged for a Dog for a whole year after they made me kick out my dog, asked for a refund for the charges, never got back to me, been over 3 months and have called/emailed multiple times 6) Constant Vehicle Break Ins 7) Overall management and leasing office have incredibly poor communication 8) Amenities are very cheap, washer, dryer, sink have broken in the double digits this year a lone let a lone previous

The office management people are not there to listen to you. They're only there to get the money is what I have felt from them. They were not friendly at all when I was speaking with them. I would ask them to fix something in my apartment and they would just start talking about different thing and don't even listen to what I'm trying to say. Everyone in the office is not willing to listen. If you're just going to live here and not do anything else, it's the best location but if you're really going to live here like you're living at home, this is not the right place for you to live.

The first day I moved in, the apartment had not been properly prepared. After being unable to move my belongings in on the first day, the maintenance crew (which is the worst maintenance crew I've ever dealt with) didn't properly replace essential objects in the apartment, and left the floors absolutely disgusting. Then after coming home with groceries, I found out the apartment is infested with bugs, and that pest control had never been to the apartment. After talking to management they said a pest control worker was sent, but I came home to roaches on the invoice itself, and still a massive amount of bugs. To ice the cake, less than a week into moving in, the apartment flooded and I wasn't able to get "24 hour emergency maintenance" to my place for an hour. Then the worker was unable to speak enough English to instruct me on where to go for the night, and the receptionist also had no idea what to do. This complex is a nightmare.

old, very unsafe structure. noise sounds everywhere(constructions), rude staffs... they will not gonna fix your broken window and they will say "turn on the AC/heater."

The place is really nice I love it but one thing am not happy about is can bent tree associate tell the tenant living on fourth floor to stop making noise its has been going on for some time now

Updating this review to give a bit more transparent information:-there have been a couple nights where there have been 0 parking spaces in the entire apartment complex. I had to park in a fire lane, and emailed to say I was parking in a fire lane and never heard back. Reminder that you pay $15/car per month just for basic parking.-constant construction is going on. We have had people doing some construction on our deck without any type of notice. Just this morning I heard some noises outside and found someone on the deck with a ladder. Again - didn't receive any type of notice or time frame for this to be completed, and my screen door curtains were not closed.-our door will not completely shut to them point of it jamming nearly everytime we try to close it. If you're moving in, I recommend buying something to seal the door and also have something for under the door to stop air from coming in. We can see right through our door currently. We also still have water damage on our ceiling that we were told would be fixed back in July.- I have really tried to be patient and understanding, but I regret moving here every day. No one has reached out to me since our move in to discuss these concerns. I very strongly advise you to look elsewhere. The cost seems cheap, but our rent has gone up a lot more than we were initially told, and the itemized statements are extremely hard to understand/disorganized. I really hope something changes very soon. Again - I'm not one to take the time to write bad reviews, but this living situation is pretty bad to say the least. I have been a resident at Bent Tree Apartments for a little over 2 months. Pros: -convenient location to 28, 66, etc. -maintenance team rocks, and is very friendly and efficient-dog park for dog lovers and owners-pretty neighborhood with lots of trees and paths for walki Cons:-hidden fees everywhere. Our base rent for a 2Br/2B is under $1,552, but with water, trash, sewage, parking, etc it equates to ~$1,670. This doesn't even include the $300 admin fee we paid for a gym that isn't open, the $50 locker fee for packages that are still delivered right in front of my apartment, $50 charge of each pet per month, $3 for pest control when there is a big bug problem, and my separate bills for internet and electric. On top of that late fees are charged the day after you miss rent and they charge $100. There is NO grace period whatsoever (in the lease agreement)-floors are so uneven we can't even put things on our shelf without things rolling off. Water damage on ceiling hasn't been fixed, and we have reached out multiple times. -super loud environment. We are located right next to a major road which factors into noise, but additionally the walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors very easily - even them turning on the shower -little to no visitor parking, especially after 7pm. They provide about 15 spots total for visitor parking for the entire community, so if you plan on having guests over, they likely won't be able to park there unless they get there very early in the day. -has no communication about lease or move in info until the day before I moved in. Received the finalized lease document less than 48 hours before move in. I hate writing bad reviews, especially because my boyfriend and I were so excited to live here. We will not be renewing our lease and we urge anyone to read this and think carefully before renting. Hopefully things change for future renters because it really could be a nice place to live.

DO NOT MOVE HERE! When i moved in my apartment had a gnat infestation, was not cleaned, had pee in the toilet, vents painted closed, and floorboards not glued down. For all of this, they offered me $30 in concessions and didn't even send pest control for over a week. Months later I broke my lease once I was able to leave (i would have left earlier if i was able due to the condition) they charged me $5,000 to break my lease even though a new tenet was going to move in 2 weeks after me. So they faced no losses and are still making me pay the fee regardless of my experience at the property. I recommend to move literally anywhere else but save yourself the trouble and DO NOT LIVE HERE. Update: I reached out as suggested in the owners comment below and now haven't heard back in two weeks. I was really hoping to come to a resolution but even the management company has proven unwilling to help. They also changed the comment they originally left which was apologetic to a generic response.

Overall: not great, poorly managed, fire hazard The community is in a convenient location in Centreville close to a lot of restaurants and not too far from the metro. The neighborhood is seemingly safe, quiet and always looks nice with good landscaping. Since they are doing renovations, most amenities have been closed (gym and business center). The new package lockers are very convenient though. Unfortunately valet trash pickup has been discontinued and the on site dumpsters are always overflowing. Also parking is hectic in the evening and for guests (they are quick to tow!). The apartments themselves are nice enough but nothing special. They do have a lot of different floor plan options. Unfortunately you can easily hear outside noises and they are not well insulated. A big red flag is that there are no sprinklers in the units! I've called Bent Tree home for a few years but am ready to move on and upgrade. Update: There was recently a major fire here resulting in 13 units being uninhabitable and 1 death. The cause has not yet been determined/announced. Not all smoke detectors in the units were working, there are no sprinklers, and there is not a fire alarm to pull in every building. The management company has stated that they have no plans to update for fire safety. I no longer feel safe living here. Look into this before moving here!

The new management is worst ever I experienced. There is not enough maintenance staff. Any emergency maintenance, we have to wait for 3-7 days. They don't pick up the phone from tenants and also do not reply the phone. Office staff do not keep the record properly too. Last month, they misplaced the check (rent) and sent another letter with late fee. When we went there and asked about the situation, they said, "you gave me the check but I did not accept, so you have to pay rent but we could discount the late fee." What the reason, they did not accept that specific check and discount the late fee? But accepted all other checks. There is no CCTV camera and receipt for proof. I highly recommend them to set up CCTV camera. On 05/08/2018, there was baby shower at my apartment, I asked the visitor parking for my relatives but they denied to provide visitor parking, so my guest unable to participate in baby shower. Office manager (Sonia Anzar) was so rude and treated me as animal (pet) like animal does not have friends and relatives.

Overpriced as hell for its quality. Floors are uneven. Charging ports are cheap and loose and will pop out so bugs can just crawl in through the hole. 1600 for a one bedroom. Horrible sewage system. Do not rent here.

I truly wish I could tell you how excited we are to leave this dump. I have never left a review for any product, service, or business, but felt it so important to let everyone know our experience so that you all will not make the same mistake we made by living here. The price is cheap and there is a reason for it. First of all, our A/C was made in 1986 and of course it broke and the maintenance staff said, "it should still be working." It took a week to get it fixed and my roommate had to complain 3 times before the incompetent maintenance staff fixed it. There were rodents living on our balcony. No more words needed for this. Our neighbor is raising a stray cat. This cat will sit outside his door and meow until he comes out and feeds it. The cat blocks the stairwell, which is not very great to come home to as someone who is terrified of cats. There is constantly vomit on the stairs outside and it is never cleaned, and then stains the stairwell. Not to mention the stairwell is dirty enough and has never been cleaned in the first place. Our apartment has the worst smell. It's terrible because you get used to it (which is gross), but when you walk in for the first time, it hits you and is not welcoming. I am not sure what the smell is but trust me it is horrible. The staff are absolute morons. I cannot believe the things I have heard them say while residents are in the office. They are so immature and have zero customer service. They do not offer you a chair when you come in and I actually knelt on the floor for 20 minutes and was never once offered a chair. They have no regard for their residents and I truly believe their entire staff needs to be turned over, with the exception of Chris. The worst part about this place for me is the unbelievable amount of bugs. I find at least 3 spiders in our apartment every day. It is so frustrating because I cannot go to sleep sometimes because I am imagining all of the bugs that are crawling around me. I called and complained and they said they would come spray, but that did nothing apparently. Please PLEASE do yourself a favor and take my advice. I have never left a review for anything before. That's how unhappy I am here.

It's like living in the middle of a construction zone in DC. I'm a full time college student and studying here during the day since the new management took over is nearly impossible. I have to leave my apartment and study at the library down the street to get anything done. I feel sorry for anyone who works night shift living here!! But it's okay, we will be moving out next month!

It's a waste of time to even leave a review, but I feel like I have to speak out because I'm so angry and resentful of you all. I moved out of your apartment on July 6th, and I cleaned the apartment to the condition it was in when I first moved in, and I moved in to the condition it was in when I first moved in. However, you went to any lengths to avoid paying the $500 security deposit, and when I received a ridiculous statement via email and complained, I was told that I had to deduct the $150 cleaning fee and receive the rest. What I don't understand is that they put a manager in your apartment, don't trust the manager, and tell you to pay $129 because you signed on the 59th at Notir on the 60th as the date of signing, and then called Jerry, the manager in charge of the move. I called him and he kept repeating things like a parrot, and when I asked him to tell me what to do next with his manager, Dudun, if we can't resolve it here, he said he would finish it, and didn't even give me his phone number. No one even apologized, and like a fool, he took my security deposit away from you. I'm still angry that I paid extra money and I can't sleep. As someone who has lived in Bentree Apartments for a long time, I would not recommend it to anyone and would like to get my money saved. I would also like to advise you that your office manager and Jerry, the manager in charge after your move, will need training. Secure deposit is money kept by the customer, and if there is money to pay after moving, a process of sending a statement and confirming it with the customer seems necessary. I'm so angry I can't stand it.

you will get horrible service and maintenance, everything in apartment is old so like your AC may not work heat may not work, they will avoid all cost to fix it and will take several months to service and fix it if your lucky. The customer service in the front office is nice but on weekends only have one person in the office so you will be waiting in a line about an hour min. Word of advice, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CRAP HOLE, YOUR BETTER OFF PAYING A BIT MORE AND GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE BELIEVE ME. They don't really follow up, logistics are very unorganized,

DO NOT MOVE HERE! When i moved in my apartment had a gnat infestation, was not cleaned, had pee in the toilet, vents painted closed, and floorboards not glued down.

Experience was not a good one anyway you look at it. The staff was unprofessional and unable to assist in an efficient and effective manner. For 6+ months, there was a broken sink in my apartment. Management and staff were unable to successfully coordinate between the necessary repairmen and myself in order for that to be remedied. Additionally, not all charges on move out were assessed in accordance with the lease. Upon my request to speak with someone regarding this, I was ignored. Should you consider moving there, be prepared to (1) be overcharged; (2) not be provided promised living conditions in one form or another; and (3) not have any sort of effective or efficient communication with Bent Tree or Air Communities staff. Bottom line, I would not recommend engaging with Bent Tree Apartments, or with any property its parent company, Air Communities, owns due to their lack of care for their residents. Following up on my customer experience after being directed to Air Communities. The customer service I received throughout this process has again been tangibly distasteful. It is clear that residents are considered a disruption to this company and not a priority. The Air Communities team made a unilateral determination with zero transparency to the customer on how or why they are able to operate not in accordance with the terms and conditions of the lease. Good to see another company free driving into residents' wallets as they please. Also, the posts regarding parking are true. It's a hassle. Residents speed through the parking lots creating i excess risk for pedestrians and children in the area.

horrible maitnence speeds. and then they do very loud maintenance early in the morning when people are trying to sleep. never any nearby parking spots. the complaint list goes on and on. ready to terminate lease and get out of here

Run and DON'T look back. If you want terrible customer service, rude members, then this is the place for you!! They never answer the phone, or emails. Parking is atrocious, prepare to walk a whole lot back to your building after 8 pm. This place is a living nightmare. And I can bet that some automated message will be posted in the response to my review! We always get it. Everyone we post a bad review on Facebook, google, yelp. It's the same sad response. Hey bent tree, aimco, save yourself the "time" of copying and pasting a halfass response.Absolute lie, it's been a MONTH since they met with her. When you guys had that bbq. That was last week? No.

No charging stations are installed here.

!!!DO NOT GET ROPED INTO SIGNING A LEASE AT THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX!!! I have lived in a Bent Tree for the past 4 year and cannot WAIT to move out of here. Since changing management companies, the quality of service and living has sharply declined. For starters -- they charge you to store your incoming mail. They make it mandatory to use their package storage facility and if you can not pick up your mail within a week, they ship it back to the sender. I'm a frail girl: Part of the reason I opt for shipping is so that my 50 lbs packages arrive AT MY DOORSTEP. Not 1000 ft away at the leasing office. It's ~impossible~ to find a parking spot once the sun goes down. Since the implementation of their new parking policies, be prepared to walk to the nearest shopping center about 10-15 min away just to secure a spot for your vehicle. There was a fire here just weeks ago that ended with someone dying. This required management to send out a bunch of inspection notices to make sure all the fire alarms were in working order... both times, not a single maintenance crew member stopped by to survey our equipment. Managers are rude and it's next to impossible to get in touch with anyone via phone. I can not exclaim how glad I am my lease is ending, y'all! If you value your living experience, DO NOT MOVE HERE. PSA TO ALL CURRENT UNHAPPY RESIDENTS: I know there's plenty of unhappy residents scrolling through the reviews right now.... Here's a word of advice: Once you get the 60 Day Notice reminder, immediately submit it. I made the mistake of waiting until I secured another property and now I'm stuck paying for an additional 47 days in rent. Although this is near the bottom of my list of complaints, it will leave an incredibly bad taste in your mouth. I'm order to avoid this predicament, learn from my mistake and PUT THAT NOTICE IN! Lol!

They go into your apartments without letting you know, they leave important information out all the time at the time of signing the lease. The leasing agents simply do not do their job, and when they do it's almost as if it's a bother. This complex is not worth the money it charges. There's huge rodents running around the complex, the dog park doors have never worked in the 22 months i lived there, neither did the dog pet spa. The water fountain in the dog park doesn't work. There's been a pot hole by the pool where we walk for months now & they have put a cone over it for just as long & they keep ignoring it as it continues to get worse. For the amount you pay the maintenance just isn't there & they are careless about it. There's also no parking anytime after 7-8pm unless you park 5-10 minutes away from your apartment which is ridiculous because you have to pay $15 extra on top of the rent (which includes random fees that constantly change with no explanation) for parking. You're just paying for the location & because it looks pretty decent.

Actually Bent Tree Apartment looks great when you see it from outside. but the service is too bad. and the maintenance team they do not care. and I have very bad experience started from the first day I moved in. the apartment was very dirty and need a lot of maintenance. reported and they fix some of what we told them after many weeks. and I had to call them and run to the office many times. and I had to take pictures to show them and to have them sign and date on the pictures. and all that just to try to push them to do their work. Complained about the electricity bill which comes over $240 every month while the normal average up to $120 they told us to contact Dominion VA power first. but there was nothing wrong with Dominion. then I had to report it again with their office and now I have been waiting over two weeks for their response and to send their maintenance team. They tell you that their policy to fix whatever in your apartment within 48 hours from the time you report the issue. Do not believe that because they take weeks. The windows are too old and has too many problems. if you ask them to replace just a light bulb in your apartment, it takes days to be replaced. They tell you that their policy to fix whatever in your apartment within 48 hours from the time you report the issue. Do not believe that because they take weeks. and they have very poor customer service

I don't live here, nor do I plan on renting here. If you're going to overcharge for apartments, make sure to update the whole unit. Not just the light fixtures, floors, and kitchen blacksplash. Location? I've looked at apartments two steps away from Dunn Loring the same price, and the second bathroom wasnt the size of a shoebox. Yea they're under new management. The person we spoke to seemed nice. But I didn't plan on speaking for an hour before actually viewing the apartment, I knew something seemed up when he was speaking so highly of the complex. Sadly the apartment didn't match his words. Thanks but no thanks. I normally don't write reviews, nor did I need to. But I felt like sharing my experience.

Not enough parking spaces even when you pay your $15 a month. Across my apt they just take a spot and put reserved. Really!!!!!!! Which you can get if you want to pay $40 a month.

Worst place to move into. Parking is messed up, maintenance never come and if they do they dont listen to the preferred time. Leasing office oh man where do I start. They never answer. Always say this and that and dont keep their words. Airbag theft literally all the time and they dont do anything about it and only send emails. As if that will help? Dont return deposit and charges for paint when they should be responsible to repaint the walls for next tenant. No visitor parking without a pass from the leasing office when they literally close so early. So no last minu guests. So much more but i am too mad to talk about my experience at bent tree. Seriously, go somewhere else people.

They put in new lockers for package drop off and they lost my package. Do not trust this company. Very unprofessional. Don't live here. Parking is still a nightmare.

My family and I have lived here for over 1 year. We enjoy the pool and playground areas. However, I feel the bad points definitely outweigh the good points. Please see below:Pros:-The rent is a lot cheaper than comparable apartment complexes-The location is ideal for shopping, restaurants, and commutingCons:-Aimco staff is rather unresponsive and some of them are quite rude.-Maintenance staff are inexperienced and incapable. Last summer our apartment flooded multiple times despite constant requests to the maintenance team. The cause was the unwillingness to clean the gutters periodically. This caused us to live in a hotel for 3 nights and $500 of damage to our belongings.-New playground equipment is cheap and dangerous. The new playground equipment has only been installed for about 6 months and I have already observed multiple injuries.-I have observed multiple residents smoking on the apartment grounds despite this being against the lease. The apartment staff are not enforcing the rules.-On 4/21/2019 there was a multiple unit fire that killed one resident. This was fire spread quickly to at least three units before it was under control despite being located directly next to a fire station. It is clear that this apartment complex is a fire hazard.https://www.fox5dc.com/amp/news/local-news/deadly-fairfax-county-apartment-fire

if I could have less than a star I will give it this horrible apartment complex. Since Lincoln property sold to the new owners this has become so horrible and unsafe place I will not recommend it to anyone. Now a lot of drunk people live in the complex and they don't respect the piece of the other tenants They stay after 1 in the morning drinking in the balconiess and playing music very laugh and some of us have to work early in the morning and we need to rest They also are leaving the dog without leash and one of the dog bite my brother I am glad it was not a child I can't imagine the damage that he could to a child. The new staff in the offices not doing anything about those incidents or to solve the problems. We send them an email because they have been doing some construction work in the complex and they scratch our new car that we get from the dealer not too long ago GUESS WHAT THEY HAVE NOT ANSWER TO THE EMAIL NOT EVEN TO BE RESPECTFUL. Another issue in the complex is that now if you came after 9 pm you will not find a parking space. You have to go and park far away in the street IMAGEN IF YOU ARE A WOMEN AND YOU GET OFF FROM WORK AT 11PM AND YOU HAVE TO WALK IN THE STREET BY YOURSELF SOMETHING DANGER CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. Also the personal in the leasing office are very slow and rude if you can to pick a package you have to way a lot of time and they always make a face to give you the package its like if you are living in the complex free and they are not getting pay from the rent that you are paying. I live here for more than 3 years when LINCOLN PROPERTY HAVE THE COMPLEX AND I DID NOT COMPLAINT. I WAS VERY HAPPY TO BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. NOW I just want my lease to finish and move from this very unsafe apartment complex.

Just I can tell you horrible management and shoddy apartments. You can hear neighbors voices even the siphon. You wont find a parking spot after 7 pm.if you are willing to wait a month to unclog your clogged sink, welcome to Bent Tree Apartments. I m sure you will not do it.

It was so incredibly loud. I could hear every footstep of my upstairs neighbors reverberate through the apartment. I could hear their dogs running back and forth. It literally makes you feel unsettled and on-edge in your own home. The staff are nice, though!

Writing this review while I'm parked at Bella Pizza because I do not have anywhere to park. Even though there are 20 reserve parking spots open , that nobody reserved....I must say, this is the dumbest thing I have ever seen

I moved out months and months ago. I was curious to see if the apartments reviews were going to continue to go down.... as I KNEW THE REVIEWS WOULD. Shockingly, I saw a bunch of 5 star reviews. Then, I saw who were writing the reviews. If you look at the actual people writing positive reviews, you can see that they all work for Bent Tree in some form. Whether it be landscaping people or contracted people in the rental property industry. THAT IS NOT HOW YELP IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! These people writing positive reviews are extremely biased.... and probably ARE NOT RESIDENTS! I hope Bent Tree isn't paying them extra or pressuring them to write false reviews. Obviously, it is one of the two.

Currently live here now, a new company took over and the staff are rude, liars, and do not care about their residents. Always noisy, never any parking. They added a new policy about parking but still is stupid and useless because they only want your money, so they get you to update to "better parking". Added more charges to our rent. Called them about some issues and they said they'd get back to us, never did. Also said they left messages and I don't have any from them. If I can get voicemail from automated machines, pretty sure I would've gotten their messages. PLEASE SPARE YOURSELVES FROM LIVING AT A TERRIBLE PLACE.

I had a disappointing experience with Bentree apartment manager, Afrah Oram. It's frustrating to feel misled and taken advantage of, especially when dealing with something as important as lease negotiations and rental increases. The lack of transparency and accountability from the apartment manager has left me feeling frustrated and undervalued as a tenant. It's completely unacceptable that you kept me waiting for three weeks, fully knowing you could not negotiate the significant rent increase. This kind of delay and miscommunication shows a lack of respect for my time and concerns as a tenant. Furthermore, the fact that an exorbitant fee of $1000 was charged to me despite my intentions being clearly communicated to the leasing office adds insult to injury. It's unfair for the management to penalize me for their own inability to effectively manage the situation. My intentions were clearly communicated to the leasing office, yet I were still charged an unjustified fee. It's disappointing that the property management appears to be more focused on maximizing profits than ensuring the satisfaction and well-being of their tenants. Andreas at the office can to attest to my intentions, this speaks volumes about the lack of consistency and professionalism at the property. If even the internal communication among staff members is lacking, it's no wonder that tenants are feeling mistreated and undervalued. The negative impact that this experience has had on me the is evident of this review, and it's truly regrettable that I choosed to lived at this property. As a tenant, you you should feel supported, respected, and appreciated by the property management, but it seems that Bentree apartment management has fallen short in providing these basic standards of care and consideration. Let it be an advise to others to stay away from this property, as it seems that the management prioritizes financial gain over the well-being and satisfaction of their tenants. It's disheartening to see a property that neglects the needs and concerns of the individuals who call it home.

if your looking for a place where nobody knows whats going on or whats happening this is the place for you. you need a question answered? that will never happen. you want to move parking spots? its going to be like pulling teeth. please spend extra money and go somewhere else between ALL THE HIDDEN FEES and broken amenities ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!

I HAVE NOT SLEPT IN MONTHS NOR CAN AFFORD TO PAY THEM TO BREAK MY LEASE. This has added to my depression and currently in therapy ( not lying ) I had to live through construction for months !!! and I mean hard-core you cannot even talk on your phone, kind of construction where it wasn't livable and nails where were flying through my wall. ( they fixed it but still). This was when they were changing the color on the outside of the apartment complex. Several neighbors and I were talking about damages me to our walls and items, thankfully, my items werent ruined, like some of my neighbors. It's was a total utter nightmare. They worked past 8pm sometimes too! Like you got lucky if you were able to sleep. the floorboards are very thin. You can hear every step your neighbors take. This is beyond hearing door slamming and thumping, and a little stomping that's normal in apartment complexes. I'm talking about hard-core TV, and mirrors are shaking. Very earthquake feeling. When I have guest over, they always comment on how I'm able to live here. I take baby steps when I walk in my own place because I'm afraid I might disturb the people below me so I don't comfortably live here. On top of the floorboards already being very weak, I've experienced water damage from a neighbor above me, who I found out, died in her apartment, well, when the cleaners were cleaning, water started pouring on my bedroom floor from my ceiling, they fixed it however, there's still a water stain that I can still see and that was about a year ago from now with that being said, there are squeaky ( nails on a chalkboard) squeaky in my room above me and my upstairs neighbors step on those parts for long periods of time. So I haven't had good sleep here in months. If I were in property management, I would literally consider letting someone out of their rent for the excessive noise, it's not regular apartment noise. As a human I'd be upset that I collect money from someone who can't sleep in their own home. I am forced to sleep in my car some nights when the sounds are that bad or crash at a friend that I can find all while still paying rent here I would consider all of this before you move in if you are someone from New York City, etc. this might not be that drastic for you. If you are trying to get away from a noisy complex, this is not the complex for you.. What sucks is that they get to decide if the noise levels are loud or not, not you or the company that comes over and hears all of this shit. ITS BEEN AWFUL! I've complained multiple times. It doesn't matter. UPDATE: I moved out and a week prior I tried contacting the leasing office. No one called me back. No one answered until I reached out to them with a blocked number, and then was rerouted to manager of bentree. She contacted me a day after my move out date ( after me begging and calling ) and are charging me for a cleaning fee ( I paid to have cleaners over 200$ ) and wanted to get in contact with someone so that they can review the apartment for me to get my full deposit back and they made sure to not contact me or return my calls I had to beg and beg to have someone give me a call back and the manager who I've had problems with my entire time living in that community decides that the apartment is not clean I asked for pictures she said her partner took pictures of the place not being clean, but I asked for them to compare them to my pictures of my place being clean, and she did not respond back to me. ( the cleaning service asked for those pictures because they told me they would give me a refund and she won't even at minimum do that, send pics if it's true). I feel ripped off, and taken advantage of. They can pretty much do and treat you anyway. That manager at that location is unprofessional and not easy to go to with any issues. I wouldn't let this place take your money they do not care especially the manager AFRAH OMAR ! It is nothing more than just a job for her. She does not care how you sleep at night. She does not care if you have degrading issues and for her to contact me after my move out and gets to decide that my place wasn't clean with zero proof. Trying to contact them just for them to make sure my apartment was up the standards after the cleaning was not easy and again, they contacted me after that move out date and it just feels like I was robbed. I've lived in other communities where they go about it professionally. That manager is horrible. What apartment complex contacts you after your move out date instead of before when you've reached out to them? I don't understand how she even got that job and it's really sad for the community there. I am not the only complaint regarding her. There are other neighbors who have had their fair issues that I've spoken to. I would just beware of living here save your money and move somewhere where the people actually want to do their jobs.

Their new management is worse than the last one , our air conditioner is not working but they are not doing anything about it , it's been almost a week and it's cold . I have to call them everyday and the person who answer the call is not that friendly, he keep saying they will call me back but they never did . Only one guy works here in the office ( don't know his name ) , he always has attitude, he needs to be fired .

Parking is still nightmare. They have these "reserved spots" right in front of each building that you can pay for but no one pays for them so they're always open and when I'm circling the complex at night trying to find parking those are the only ones open but I can't park in them or I'll get towed. Just do yourself a favor and go elsewhere unless you want a headache. They're trying to re do the siding and paint the brick of all the building right now while we're still waiting for them to open the renovated gym and clubhouse and while we're waiting for them to repair the burned building.There was a multi unit fire over 4 months ago but I still have to drive by a black burned building surrounded by construction equipment when nothing has changed and doesn't like they've rebuilt any part of the building. They have fences taking up a bunch of parking near that building too which could be used because if you get home after 8 pm good luck finding parking. Last night I had to walk across the entire complex carrying my 2 year old who was asleep because I got home around 11 pm. I work late and I work 45 hours a week and am a mom so to spend 30-45 minutes looking for parking and then carry my sleeping child across the complex is ridiculous and management DOESNT care. My last Yelp review the "business owner" said someone reached out but surprise surprise, no one did. My lease was almost up and I was looking to transfer so I called the leasing office and spoke to a gentleman about what unit and he said he would get it approved by his boss and call me back. Well after a month of waiting I said forget it I don't want to pack anymore and no one called back. So I'm on the resident website and it says my upcoming auto payment was a few hundred more than usual so I'm like wtf, I walk to the leasing trailer and speak to someone and she was like yeah you're moving in the 18th of next month that why your rent went up. So apparently I was scheduled to move and no one told me?! The gentleman never called me back about transferring but put in the transfer.. I never signed any new lease or anything and no one spoke to me. The guy over heard me and was like "oh yeah that was me I knew I should've called you back." The woman said she would fix it and contact me. She contacted me a few days later and apologized it took a few days because hey had already LEASED MY APARTMENT TO SOMEONE ELSE. They leased the apartment I was living in to someone else without contacting me and having me sign transfer papers. I really feel bad for those people because they probably had to find something else and just go through a headache. Hopefully they went to another complex! I will he emailing Aimco everyday until they fix this parking issue because I should not have to waste 30 minutes and my gas just to park at my own home. Seriously if you are still reading this please just go to another complex unless you like wasting your time finding parking or getting hit with hidden fees and looking at construction equipment in front of every building. UPDATE: parking still SUCKS and no one wants to pay for reserved when they already charge us $15 per car.. the tennis court still doesn't have a net. The trash compactor and trash bins are ALWAYS full but if I leave my trash outside my door for ONE night the neighbors bitch. I'm sorry that I have a two year old and I'm on bed rest so I don't always get around to taking it in 10 minutes, but yet everyone uses their balcony as storage which they say isn't allowed and people leave bikes and scooters stored outside their door for weeks and they block the walk way. This complex is horrible so when you see why it's rated so low please take your money elsewhere even if it's a little more costly because no one in management gives a crap about residents. All they want is their money. They also sent notice about people not being allowed to hang things on their balcony but I see residents that have drapes and lights hanging around their balcony. AIMCO doesn't know what the hell theyre doing and I cannot WAIT to leave this sh*t hole. Also that guy who responds to complaints saying he'll contact you... he never does I've never heard from him he's probably up in a corporate office.

As much as I wanted to leave a positive review for Bent Tree, the way my move-out was handled was completely unacceptable and disappointing. After being a tenant for three years without any issues, I expected better treatment. Unfortunately, due to poor communication from Bent Tree and being forced to move out without proper notification, I was charged a significant portion of my security deposit, with Bent Tree acting as if they were doing me a favor. This experience has led me to decide that I would NEVER recommend Bent Tree or any of their affiliated properties, as they clearly do not value their tenants. My time there felt like a movie that was great until a terrible ending ruined it--this is the best way to describe Bent Tree, which is truly unfortunate.

Its been 2 month since I moved in and my experience here has been horrible. I am getting hit with hidden fees like crazy. --You have to pay for their delivery service to the locker (one time fee) which they still deliver it in front of your door--The gym is being renovated but you have to pay for that service (not even prorated) even when you can't use it.--Electric service pay separately to Virginia Electric however... you get hit with the prorated service for the day you didn't set up an account of $50 one time service fee on top of that $5.25/month service fee for god knows what.Below is some of the charges from the statement (copied and pasted)--Vacant Service Fee 06/04/2019 - 06/11/2019 $50.00--Service Fee Conservice is a service provider contracted to prepare monthly statements and provide conservation resources. $5.25--Acct. Setup This is a one-time fee to setup your Conservice account. $10.00--Energy Conservation Fee 06/04/2019 - 06/06/2019 $2.00 (not even sure what this is and this is monthly or in the future going to be higher)PLUS$15/month per car for parking (not enough parking spaces...good luck)$50 for locker delivery service (they still deliver to door)$14.33 for insurance (if you get it through Bent Tree)PLUSWater Base ChargePest ControlSewerSewer Base (different from Sewer charge)TrashWater (difference from water base charge)I am not saying all the charges are not reasonable however, the hidden fee and one time fees are ridiculous.I currently pay $1500 base rent $30 for 2 cars $14.33 for insurance = $1544.33+electric+all those other fees will run you about $1750 minus the one time fees for everything.BEWARE!!!!

You're done being treated like "family" as soon as you sign your lease. The leasing office is severely understaffed, they never answer their phones when you call, and when they do they hang up on you. My partner slid on a water heater cover and fell in when it was raining. We told management, they did nothing but ask if he was fine! What if it were a kid? Worst attitudes ever from leasing agents, as if your problems are your own fault. QUICK to bill you for leaving anything outside your front door. Take your money ANYWHERE else. This is their job, they don't care that it affects your livelihood.You pay for parking, but they will tow you no matter what! But once they tow you the leasing office cannot help you, even though you had your paid parking pass on the top right of your windshield. Sounds great right? Their package delivery system is a joke. You pay $50 annually for a locker system, and they don't even notify you when your package was delivered. You have to go into the LuxerOne app and talk to their customer service. Leasing office will tell you there's nothing they can do. I had my package stolen recently, the leasing office asked if I had called the police already (sounded like sarcasm). It was a $4 package, I don't need the police, I need the protection and surveillance I was promised when I bought a locker space. Truly counting down the days until I leave this disgusting establishment. The manager's name is Sonia, and she is far from a decent manager. The property manager's name is Andrea, and she's even worse. Need a maintenance request? By your third submission, they should be on the way. Maintenance men are no issue, in fact very thorough and quick, perhaps the nicest thing about this place.Leasing office is truly ran by grown women who act like high-schoolers. God forbid you're passionate and upset about your problem, they'll pretend they never received your voicemail. But once you go into the leasing office physically they act like that had never happened. AVOID this community like the plague. I'm counting down the days until I get to leave this horrible place.

The worst place to rent from!! You will never find parking after 9:30pm-10pm!!! On top of that my car got towed last night and I had to pay $160 to get it back today! The management run by this apartment sucks and they do not care! I highly advise the people to find somewhere else to rent. I can not wait for my lease to end in a couple of months!!!

I been leaving here for 2 years and often the new company took over this place is suck I don't recommend it to any one.

This apartment Complex has gone downhill fast. I would advise anyone thinking about moving into this complex to please think long and hard before doing so. I've had nothing but bad experiences with the current management and maintenance team. On May 21, 2018 5:54 PM, I submitted an online service request for my dryer that stopped working. After 4 days, still no one from maintenance had shown up. So,I submitted another request on May 24, 2018 at 5:06 AM. That morning I went to the rental office and personally complained about how long it has taken to get maintenance to my apartment to fix the dryer. The girl in the front office stated she'll let maintenance know to "stop by." A few hours later, someone finally showed up. The Maintenance technician that showed up informed me that if he was not able to fix the dryer he would pull a working dryer from another apartment. I left that day for vacation and received an email stating the dryer was fixed. I returned home on June 1, 2018 8:00 PM from vacation. A letter was left in my apartment saying the problem was fixed and it had something to do with the timer knob. I went to use the dryer, that was supposedly fixed, and it was still broken. You would think they would test it out before telling you they fixed it, but that was clearly not the case. I made another call and was told that the maintenance supervisor would be at my apartment Saturday morning to fix the issue. Saturday morning came and went. I stopped in the rental office, once again, to address the issue of not having a working dryer for weeks and they informed me that there was nothing they could do until possibly Monday. I informed the rental office that their answer was unsatisfactory because I needed a working dryer to wash and dry military uniforms for work on Monday. How can management can allow a tenant to be without a dryer for several weeks? They had the audacity to tell me to take my clothing to a laundromat and to bring them my receipt to "pay me back" or to wash my clothes in my apartment and that they would let me in to a vacant apartment to dry my items. In all of my frustration I ended up looking up YouTube videos and fixed my own dryer. I'm sure someone from the apartment will read this post and find a way to charge me money for having to do their jobs...

I kept holding back on putting in a review for Bent Tree Apartments in Centreville, VA but now I have no choice. I had to move out in less than a month. Never mind the parking hassles, especially coming home after 7pm with bags of groceries and a Baby to feed and no parking available where I have to drive to the HMart plaza to park and walk back on numerous occasions and also pay a monthly parking fee, who charges parking for a place they call your home?, and never mind the exorbitant amount of monthly fees and service charges that are added onto the rent where you may as well go to a nicer more expensive place where you are going to end up paying the same amount, but the straw that broke this camels back was when the two leasing agents absolutely promised me they would not charge me for cleaning expenses when I moved out. This was their word of honor and of course I did get charged. My email response was sent to the property manager and she would not honor and uphold their promise. A real dishonest loser. Dishonesty is something I can't take especially when it comes to monetary concerns. They can keep their cleaning expense but I am going to keep this review up for a long time. Think multiple times before moving here. The reviews do not lie about this place.

THEFT ALERT!! I frequently visit Bent Tree Apartments to see my boyfriend, but a recent incident has left me feeling extremely unsafe. His bike was stolen from his balcony, and we're unsure if it happened while someone was home. This experience has been scary! and it raises serious security concerns. Waiting to see what management will respond to this situation. This incident has deeply shaken our sense of security, as we are uncertain whether it occurred while someone was home or if the thief gained access to the balcony unnoticed. The fact that such a theft could occur within the premises raises serious concerns about the apartment's safety measures.

UPDATE: MOLD AND MILDEW BUILD UP if your looking for a place where nobody knows whats going on or whats happening this is the place for you. you need a question answered? that will never happen. you want to move parking spots? its going to be like pulling teeth. please spend extra money and go somewhere else between ALL THE HIDDEN FEES and broken amenities ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!

Lived here for five months and I would not recommend it to anyone. The place is not safe at all, someone stole my bike from the deck, my packages are lost all the time and Luxer One charge me $10 storage fee (if I don't pick up my package in 24 hours) they send me code and when I go there the locker is empty. Parking is a nightmare you can find your car totally empty in the morning (stole tires and other parts) even when they charge $20 a month for parking. After reporting to the office manager you will feel like waste of you time, management won't do anything. There is a bogus fee for paying your rent with a card. In the apartment itself, paint chips from the walls and the bathtubs and troilite is very old. Blinds break easily or straight up fall down, and you will see dog poop everywhere.

I wanted to switch my unit to same size onther unit because of Mold, water leakage under floor, high hamidity and hamidity smell in my unit.The management team is not able to fix this problem, because they are careless ,unprofessional every day they defruad the residents.Always my children have complain from headach, sore throat and body pain.I bought a dehumidifier to control hamidity it did not work properly because there is water leakage under floor.The Leasing Office offered me extra money or my new income. meanwhile I'm living here for 4 years I don't have late payments or no paynalty.They don't look at my 4 years record. Just they know how to take money from residents' packets. We do not feel safe and happy here, so the best judge is very human's own conscience !

No effort to help their residents, worst treatment I ever received, they should automize all their phone options, since they won't offer no other options other than what we already know we have, this is my second year and I was trying to renew my contract but they would not understand the actual situation we are going through, I would not recommend this place to nobody, other than it's location, once you are a resident they won't care about you.

They are not even desolved one star. You cannot imagine any worst than this apartment. The manager forgot what she said everytime and change her word. Made me pay $300 for repair and clean. What they told me was that they are going to sue me if I am not paying what I didn't desolved. Noise between apartment is a nightmare here. PLEASE DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!! YOU WILL REGRET !!!

My partner and I lived at Bent Tree Apts from Mar '22 to Jan '23. We terminated our lease early because it was that bad, so bad that we paid hefty termination fees to get out. Tip: get a lawyer to look at your lease before signing anything! Before our move-in day, we were unable to get in contact with the leasing agent that coordinated our move-in. We later found out that our leasing agent left the company and forgot to transfer our information to another agent. Our move-in day was also on a Sunday so the leasing office would have been closed. Good thing we kept bugging them about it--otherwise, I'm convinced we would have never gotten our passcodes while still getting charged rent. Within the first week, we noticed evidence of previous water damage all over the apartment unit (e.g raised flooring, cracked walls, water stains). There was also an ant infestation that came from outside our first floor unit; we had to seal the trim with tape to keep them out. Another issue is that there is a shortage of parking spaces. We paid for general parking spaces every month but were not guaranteed spots after 7pm. A few months later, our ceiling flooded with sewage water near the HVAC vents on two separate occasions. This explained where the signs of prior water damage throughout the apartment unit came from. Another big concern was that the maintenance team entered our unit for an unannounced VA state inspection. The maintenance team told us at the door that they knew some units did not receive a notice, but they still apparently needed to enter that day anyway. Luckily, we happened to be home at the time and were able to calm down our anxious dog. If this is a routine state inspection, shouldn't they have known about this for a while? Why couldn't the maintenance team have rescheduled the inspection when they realized that some units were not notified? We felt very strongly about this because we had a lot of concerns about our rescue dog being home alone with any strangers in the unit. When we brought this concern to the attention of the leasing office, they told us that all units were absolutely notified ahead of time. It took a lot of persistence on our end before they finally checked their e-mail distribution list and realized that some units indeed did not receive the notice. However, instead of apologizing for the gaslighting, they shoved this under the rug and promised not to do this again. Except it did. Needless to say, we lost all trust in Bent Tree after this experience. There was a drain in the hot water heater closet that collected the runoff from the HVAC of all the units above us and it constantly dripped with water. A sewage smell appeared every 2 weeks and it permeated throughout the entire apartment. There were random fees added to our invoice every month; however, we don't know where that money went to as they never did any landscaping in the Fall or Winter and only raked the leaves twice the entire season. The complex was hideous with all the leaves that would rot in the grass and encourage snakes to hide underneath (and yes, we did see snakes). Bent Tree's online portal is also a mess and you can't track what you're being charged for as the charges are not listed in any sequential order. As others have mentioned, we received an automated message that our batteries for our door lock were dying and scheduled a date and time to have replacements dropped off. They were never delivered and we had to buy our own out of fear of getting locked out of our apartment. We confirmed later with the leasing office that their AI assistant rarely works. Maybe they have it figured out by now, but I wouldn't get my hopes up on it. Overall, terrible experience that negatively impacted our quality of life. You could rent a better apartment at a similar price point that comes with fewer headaches.

The parking is horrible! They first charge for it, then you have only a specific spot to park in, you can't even choose. It's always far away from where I live and on top of that the maintenance teams keep parking their trucks in multiple spots and I can't even go inside until I find one and get them to move.

The parking space is very limited. You can waiste your money to reserve a spot or waist your time trying to find a spot very far away from your unit, if you can find one. There should be a warning about the limited parking before applying for a lease. On the contrary, I was told by a staff member that there was plenty of parking, but that is not the case. I guess lying is one the selling strategies use by the leasing office.

The office management people are not there to listen to you. They're only there to get the money is what I have felt from them. They were not friendly at all when I was speaking with them. I would ask them to fix something in my apartment and they would just start talking about different thing and don't even listen to what I'm trying to say. Everyone in the office is not willing to listen. If you're just going to live here and not do anything else, it's the best location but if you're really going to live here like you're living at home, this is not the right place for you to live.

This is the absolute worst place to live. Bent Tree is run by awful people. We were one of the apartments in the fire there recently. Everything was destroyed except our bedroom. They didn't let us into our apartment until over a month later and then only finally found us a way in so they could continue with their construction. To get us into our apartment they knocked down a wall ruining the majority of items in the only room that wasn't destroyed by fire. We also found out that people had been stealing things from our apartment in the time that they wouldn't let us in. They blew us off about these issues. Even before the fire they were horrible. They knocked down our smoke alarm while in our apartment working on something. When we told them it was broken they said they would be right on while completely dismissing us never being fixed. These are small overpriced apartments run by lazy people who do not care about their tenants needs. They treated us terribly during an already difficult time.Sonia who we have primarily dealt with is the absolute worst and has not helped us in any way and I am certain I will never hear back from her about the insurance claim from them letting people steal our stuff instead of letting us in sooner.

Scammers!!!! Full paint job. Full clean! Damages and termination fee $7000. I'm glad I took a nice video of my empty, clean apartment when I vacated it for the judge to see. This has to stop, and the three people in the rental office need to be held accountable for the lies they produce just to scam people out of money. Along with that, someone goes out of their way to stage some dirt or something in the refrigerator and other places to say they had to clean.You have to be thinking mighty hard to stage dirt or anything to scam former tenets out of there money.

Overall: not great, poorly managed, fire hazardThere was recently a major fire here resulting in 13 units being uninhabitable and 1 death. The cause has not yet been determined/announced. Not all smoke detectors in the units were working, there are no sprinklers, and there is not a fire alarm to pull in every building. The management company has stated that they have no plans to update for fire safety. I no longer feel safe living here. Look into this before moving here!The community is in a convenient location in Centreville close to a lot of restaurants and not too far from the metro. The neighborhood is seemingly safe, quiet and always looks nice with good landscaping. Since they are doing renovations, most amenities have been closed (gym, pool, and business center). The new package lockers are very convenient though. Unfortunately valet trash pickup has been discontinued and the on site dumpsters are always overflowing. Also parking is hectic in the evening and for guests (they are quick to tow!). The apartments themselves are nice enough but nothing special. They do have a lot of different floor plan options. Unfortunately you can easily hear outside noises and they are not well insulated. A big red flag is that there are no sprinklers in the units! I've called Bent Tree home for a few years but am ready to move on and upgrade.

I would rather sleep in the street with the homeless than leave in this property.... The worst management ever... you can hear your neighbors what they are doing through the walls... that's how bad these apartments are

I lived in the first floor and it was a struggle every night to get sleep. The floor above us is EXTREMELY CREAKY and the upstairs neighbor moves ALL NIGHT LONG. We hear everything. Not to mention, the people outside are loud at night. I'm honestly shocked to see reviews above two stars. Do not live here...

Avoid this complex. The new ownership is not interested in improving the quality of life at the complex as they are increasing their profit. Since taking over, they have reduced the number of parking spaces by creating additional un-covered "Reserved" spaces trying to force residents to pay - especially, if they are unfortunate enough to work hours that have you returning home after 8pm. At that time all the free spaces are taken. You rent an apartment with the realistic expectation that there should be adequate parking to accomodate the number of residents, not drive around for 45 minutes hoping someone has to leave and you can grab their spot - like a perverse game of musical chairs. And heaven forbid you should park in one of the unrented vacant "Reserved" spaces, you will find your self paying a $165 towing charge after tracking down your vehicle's location. Trash "valet" is a joke where tenants leave their trash outside their door - many all day for the 7-8pm pickup. And if the bags break when they are "valeting" them to haul the trash away, they just leave the dirty dipers, spoiled trash laying in the halls waiting for someone else to pick up. Lights in stairwells go months before being replaced and the piled up trash around their dumpsters has to be a health violation. I am moving out as soon as my lease is up as the frustration, hassles, cavalier management attitude, maintenance requests that take 4 weeks to address, is not worth the $100/mo. you might save. But if you would like to pay for an apartment, pay for a guaranteed parking spot or even pay monthly for a plot to grow a garden, this is your place. It just won't be mine.

Lived here for two years and I would not recommend it to anyone. Parking is a nightmare and even after reporting cars that have been in the same spot for days without a Bent Tree sticker, management won't do anything. They threaten towing but never actually tow. Residents park in visitor spots or behind other cars. Management is not responsive online or in person. There is a bogus fee for paying your rent with a card. In the apartment itself, paint chips from the walls and the bathtubs. Blinds break easily or straight up fall down. There is little to no warning from maintenance. The package room is a nightmare. The only good thing are the door locks.

DO NOT MOVE HERE THEY MISREPRESENT AND IT IS A MONEY GRAB PLACE FEES FOR EVERYTHING MOVING IN AND OUT THE WORST PLACE YOU COULD MOVE INTO VERY DISHONEST AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR RESIDENTS. HORRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE IN Actually this is a NO star 0 place to live in things do not get fixed in a timely manner. Parking has been restructured with no advance notification of which whoever came up with this brilliant stupid plan clearly did not do their research assigning parking spaces on the other side of the apartment complex not providing spaces in front of your residential home and still expect people to pay for assigned parking spaces that is far from your building as well as paying to park at a visitors spot but if there are no more guest spaces available you have to park outside of the development complex and risk your car from getting towed or damaged just so wrong anyway you look at this. DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!!!! This does not warrant not even 1 star. Do not move here! Management is awful and they do not care about their tenants because we are just a business to them. this apartment complex is a money grab for everything. Parking is a disaster you can not park in front of your building they put you 2 blocks away and there are fees for assigned 2 block parking so wrong. The maintenance are clueless and have no skills look at this caulking job to say the least just awful. Moving here is not worth the headache.

I'm wondering if there is any rating less than one star?!

This place is full of bedbugs. I lived there only couple of months but it was nigthmare.

Some staff are friendly, maintenance staff don't seem to care, good location. The apartment buildings are a very old, and something breaks on a weekly basis.

I used to like living here. Everything has changed in the last year or so. Parking sucks and they still charge us monthly for it. There are at least half of the reserved spots not being used. They built a second dog park instead of fixing the basketball court which is across the street and barely anybody knows about. I've had issues with maintenance not showing up for days at a time. Our stairs and walking areas are almost always dirty. We have had communication problems as well. The phone is never answered and emails are responded to days later. Not the way someone wants to treated if they're paying rent to live somewhere. Old management was way better.

The worse community ever,

I will be writing series of reviews regarding bent tree apartment. we lived for total of 3 years in 2 different units. On the 2nd unit, we lived for less than 24 month and we were charged for 30+ months worth of carpet damge, appx $17 per month based on their calculation. Staff/manager was very reluctant to explain/discuss the matter but to present you with "INVOICE/BILL". We were present on the final walk through and inspecton day and no such claim was mentioned. Existing carpet when our rent started was NOT new so it probably was in a condition to replace from normal wear and tear. I didn't have to pay for the carpet on the previous unit that we lived in, but had to pay for the 2nd one regardless. I BELIEVE MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED SINCE THEN. As those of you who read not just my review but others below, you can conclude that last tenant who stay in the unit will have to pay for the carpet REGARDLESS. All apartments and rental units have pros and cons. it just really sucks when they get you at the end just because you are leaving. Hope this review helps some of you. I will write more later. Thanks for reading.

I want to share my disappointment with this apartment complex, especially with Bryce Wiley from the leasing office. Even though the living space is okay, dealing with Mr. Wiley has been a bit of a letdown. From the start, there have been problems with promised parking spots. Despite Mr. Wiley saying he'd fix things, the parking situation hasn't improved. Also, details about certain parking spots weren't shared upfront, causing unexpected issues. On top of that, surprise fees keep popping up. Every time we talk about it with Mr. Wiley, it feels like our concerns are ignored or interrupted. After signing the lease, Mr. Wiley's attitude changed, and it's not for the better. He used to be helpful, but now he seems disrespectful and dismissive. This has made our living experience more frustrating and disappointing. To anyone thinking about moving in, I'd suggest being cautious with Mr. Bryce White and the leasing office. Transparency is lacking, concerns aren't being addressed, and the way things change after signing the lease is a letdown.
